Eiichiro Oda (尾田栄一郎 Oda Ei'ichirō, born January 1, 1975) is the creator of the manga and anime One Piece. He was born in Kumamoto Prefecture.

As a child, Oda was inspired by pirates and aspired to become a manga artist. At the age of 17, he submitted his work "Wanted" and it won several awards. At the age of 19, he worked as an assistant to Nobuhiro Watsuki in the manga Rurouni Kenshin. During this time, he drew two one shots of One Piece, called Romance Dawn (note the first chapter of One Piece is also called this). In 1997, One Piece appeared for the first time in the magazine Shonen Jump and promptly became one of the most popular manga in Japan. It is modelled after his favorite manga creator, Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball and Dr. Slump.

Eiichiro Oda is married to Chiaki Inaba, a person who plays Nami during Jump Festa One Piece stage performances.

I'd like to die with the songs I love stuck in my head. I hope to make the most of these hollow bones we become.
I raise a toast to the the souls that sang all along. I've been gathering friends to just to make some sounds,
before the ship goes down, I've been making amends by making the rounds before the whole world ends
